TNA BRITISH BOOTCAMP DEBUTING THIS SUNDAY IN UK

By Mike Johnson on 2014-10-15 09:19:57
The second season of TNA's British Bootcamp will debut this Sunday at 9 PM on Challenge TV in Great Britain, the usual timeslot for Impact Wrestling.

The eight episode reality series will see Judges Gail Kim, Al Snow and Samoa Joe rule over a 50 wrestler tryout where the winner receives a TNA contract. The first four episodes were filmed in the UK while the remaining four feature the series' six finalists traveling to the United States to compete against TNA stars.

The series was originally planned to be a 30 minute series (as the first season was) but Challenge TV expanded the series to one hour after seeing the first audition episodes.

The first episodes were filmed in Manchester, London and Glasgow (which in a smart move of synergy and promotion are also cities TNA will tour this January) with the UK finals airing from York Hall in London on Episode Four.

TNA will be producing a "British Bootcamp Breakdown" post-show hosted by Christy Hemme and Rockstar Spud. Spud won the series' first season.

Several TNA stars who have seen advance episodes of the series have praised it.
